Chapter 197
"If you don't care about kindness, will your parents allow you to take away the fiancé of the daughter of his best friend?"
Looking at Mrs. Fannie, Melissa's heart sank. It seemed that Mrs. Fannie planned to make her in trouble. She tried to calm herself down and said, "It turns out that's why Mrs. Fannie comes to me today."
"You always know that I want to talk to you, don't you?" Mrs. Fannie smiled elegantly and slowly put her hands on her knees. Her right hand covered the platinum diamond ring on her left hand so as to conceal the light of the ring, as well as the sparkling pearl. However, she was becoming more and more restrained.
"I am telling you the truth today." Mrs. Fannie then slowly said, "I won't agree you to be with my son, regardless of the likely appearance of you and Avril, in terms of your family background, you are never worthy of being mentioned to Colin."
"Does Mrs. Fannie value my family background so much?" Downhearted as Melissa was, she tried her best to keep calm.
Mrs. Fannie curled her lips into a disdainful smile and said, "That's right. In the Ling family, I have to care about your family background so much." "Don't you know?"
"Then where does you come from?" Melissa snapped back.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fannie turned to her, with a gleam shining in her eyes. Then she squinted and said in a cold and stern voice, "How dare you question my origin?"
In fact, Melissa was not afraid of her majesty. She asked calmly, "I mean, the reason why Mrs. Fannie is able to climb from a commoner to your current position, why can't you believe in the commoners'
power?" "Some success doesn't rely on your wealth in your background, but on your ability and intelligence, right?"
"What do you mean by that?" …… Are you trying to imitate me and help Colin? However…… ""Do you have any requirements?"" Mrs. Fannie raised her eyebrows, and examined Melissa more carefully. An ironic smile appeared on her lip. She was thinking that what a young girl! Did she really think everyone can have good fortune just like her?"
Melissa said humbly with her eyes down, "I don't think I'm as good as Mrs. Fannie, but I don't want to drag Colin down." "Besides, Mrs. Fannie of civilian birth has already proven that identity isn't very important, right?"
"Humph!" Mrs. Fannie sneered and retorted what Melissa said, "I know the importance of family background as I'm a civilian. Once you have some background, you will be able to struggle for ten years less than others." Do you think I will choose one who have to struggle for ten years instead of a girl with a ready-made background? Besides, are you smart enough to help Colin to deal with his brothers and sisters? In the Ling family, having a background is equal to having half of the power. In the competitive war, I have no time to invest in you, which is not yet mature like a fruit tree! "Otherwise, I'll be the one to suffer. You will never know what I and Colin will suffer!"
"I don't know why Mrs. Fannie is so important about money. Even if you lose, Mr. Ling is your husband, and he is Colin's father. Do you think that as a husband, he will bear to see his wife and children suffer?" "Why do you care so much about the result? Isn't it tired for you to struggle with others all your life? "
Mrs. Fannie slowly took a sip of tea and said, "A woman who has done nothing can't understand my mood!" "What you think will make you nobody and you will never marry Colin!" My son needs someone to help him, not someone like you who will slow him down! Besides, I don't understand one thing. You
swore that you wouldn't have an affair with Colin. Why did you forgive him and come back not for long? "Don't you like my son's money?"
Melissa thought this was so ridiculous. Perhaps it was they are not harmonious and thoughts are not harmonious. But she still said to Mrs. Fannie calmly, "Madam, maybe you will never understand this in this life. In addition to money, there is another thing called love in this world!"
"Love?" Mrs. Fannie continued with a sneer, "You really love my son, not because you have tolerated him?" Will you come back to him if he doesn't oppress you? If Colin has nothing, will you still be with him? Do you really love him so much? "Do you love him so much that you can give up everything or even overlook everything to be with him?"
Her words made Melissa speechless. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. Did she really love Colin? Would she come back to him if he didn't oppress her? If he lost everything, would she still be willing to be with him desperately? Could they really be counted as love? Hearing that, Melissa asked herself. At the same time, she was hesitant.
Mrs. Fannie sneered, "See? You and my son don't love each other. You were forced to be together. He forced you to stay because he couldn't find a more attractive woman than you. There is pressure and confusion between you. It's not voluntary to be together. Do you really think this is true love?" "Melissa, do you really think it is worth to go against me for such a man who always oppresses you?"
Was it really worth it? Did she have to against Mrs. Fannie to be with Mrs. Fannie? Did she have to be with Colin for losing everything? She will never regret? Did Colin really love her? Or would he satisfied her?
"You are a sensible woman. You should know what to do if you know the situation. I don't want to use any strong means to suppress you. It will be best if you can think it through. We can all good!" Mrs. Fannie opened her hands, trying to show her generosity.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Melissa raised her head and said with her eyes showing stubbornness, "Mrs. Fannie, you have done a good job in this. You almost fooled me."
Mrs. Fannie just smiled disdainfully, looked up and joked, "Melissa, if you were not hesitating in your heart, do you think I could persuade you?" Now that you are not sure whether your love is right or not, and there are so many obstacles in your future, why do you insist? Aren't you afraid that if you insist to the end, you will hurt yourself and the people around you, but find that what you insist is all wrong? "Are you really worth it?"
Again, Melissa kept silent. Although she wanted to resist Mrs. Fannie's words, she couldn't help but doubt what she said.
Mrs. Fannie took another sip of tea and said, "You know, your parents attach great importance to the friendship between Lin family and your parents. I've heard that your father's illness can be healed only with the help of Austin. What will your parents think if you take away Miss Linn's fiancé?"
"You investigated me before!" Said Melissa in a cold voice. It turned out Mrs. Fannie knows that she asked her grandpa to let Austin give a help. Obviously, she knows a lot about her family. Did she give the information about her relationship with Colin to her parents?
Mrs. Fannie just smiled casually, "Does it matter whether I investigate you or not?" "Shouldn't Melissa ask your parents about their reaction after knowing this?"
Frowning, Melissa didn't answer.
Mrs. Fannie continued, "For a man you are not sure whether you love him or not, and don't know if he really loves you, would you rather hurt your parents' hearts?"
Melissa almost lost her mind under Mrs. Fannie's temptation. She was considering whether she was doing the right thing and should such things for Colin? Was it worth it? Was it worth it? Didn't she
always want to leave him? Would she follow him wholeheartedly after being moved by him for a moment?
Just when Melissa was hesitating, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Melissa was shocked, and Mrs. Fannie was also stunned. They turned around and saw Colin going in aggressively.
It seemed that Colin had come in time, so he scurried to her with an indignant face. He approached Mrs. Fannie and asked coldly, "What do you want from her?"
For the arrival of her son, Mrs. Fannie was not alarmed. Instead, she leaned back on the leather chair and said lazily, "You came so fast. It seems that you have arranged many people around me." With a satirical smile on the corner of her mouth and a glint of sharpness in her eyes, she thought that it seems that she had to sort out the people around me soon.
Instead of answering her question, Colin asked, "Why did you ask for Melissa?"
"Don't you know why I look for her?" Mrs. Fannie smiled lazily.
Colin turned his head, held Melissa's hand and asked, "What did she say to you?"
Melissa lowered her head and shook her head, "Nothing."
Mrs. Fannie replied, "I didn't mean to offend her. I just wanted to know whether she liked my son or not. Was she really willing to offend her parents because of you?" "Is it worth it?"
Mrs. Fannie was frank and honest. Hearing her words, Melissa felt a little nervous. Colin glanced at Melissa, then squinted at Mrs. Fannie.
Mrs. Fannie unfolded her palm and said, "It turned out that Melissa hesitated. She wasn't sure if she really loved you. After all, you two were not willing to be together, but were forced. Don't you think it was ridiculous?"
Melissa's heart grew heavy. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the depressed feeling.
Colin held her hand tightly and closed his mouth as if he was angry at what Mrs. Fannie said, but he only ordered Melissa coldly, "Just get out, Melissa. I have something to tell her."
Melissa didn't resist. She nodded and went out. However, when she walked out of the room, she felt even more depressed. She took a deep breath, but it was still difficult to resist the depression.
Her hesitation was finally evident. And Colin found it. In fact, she was not sure whether they would have a future or not. Besides, she was uncertain about it after being questioned by Mrs. Fannie today. Was it really necessary for her to stick to it like this? Especially when she ran into Miss Linn, the daughter of her father's best friend.
Just as she was thinking about that, she ran into Linn who was walking to her. With a smile on her face, Linn said, "What are you thinking about here, Melissa?" "Why don't you come in?"
